I don't see how he was snaking his teammate. For one thing, he told him he was taping. For another, he didn't release the video himself. If Nick Young was really pissed about it he could've asked him to delete it or whatever. Maybe he did... but even then, I highly doubt D leaked the tape himself and am pretty sure his phone's security was compromised. I wouldn't say he's a scumbag or even a snitch.

Think about it. Who in the hell would want a guy like that on their team? As a coworker?
Nobody can convince me that his phone got "hacked". How many of us have had our phones hacked ever? Not likely. This child put his teammate on jump street and probably ruined his personal life. If you want my HONEST opinion, this reeks of intent to slide in on Young's fiancé.
FWIW I listened and couldn't actually decipher much of what Nick Young was saying, and don't see enough evidence to prove that the 19 yr old referenced was in play while Young was engaged or even dating his fiancé. In fact, Young candidly denied sleeping with someone else.
Long story short, I wouldn't respect far less trust Russel as a man far less his teammate. There's only one way that video got out, coincidentally to a celeb gossip site.... Psssssssh right.
Lots of ways it could've went down. Someone could've stole his phone or something, he could've left it unintended and a girl he was with saw it and sent it to herself, etc. He's a pretty famous dude, so there's definitely a motive for someone to slide through his phone.
